Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick, Canucks center Henrik Sedin and Canadiens left wing Max Pacioretty have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Feb. 22.

FIRST STAR – JONATHAN QUICK, G, KINGS

Quick went 3-0-0 to backstop the Kings (28-18-12, 68 points) to three consecutive victories, including a 2-1 triumph over the rival Sharks in the 2015 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

SECOND STAR – HENRIK SEDIN, C, CANUCKS

Sedin registered four consecutive multi-point games and shared the League lead with eight points as the Canucks (34-22-3, 71 points) won three of four starts. 

THIRD STAR – MAX PACIORETTY, LW, MONTREAL CANADIENS

Pacioretty shared first in the NHL with four goals and a +6 rating to lead the Canadiens (38-16-5, 81 points) to five out of eight possible standings points. 

Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa, Kings forward Tyler Toffoli and Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Feb. 15.

FIRST STAR – MARIAN HOSSA, F, BLACKHAWKS

Hossa led the NHL with five goals and tied for second in the League with six points to help the Blackhawks (35-18-4, 74 points) pick up points in all four of their games.

SECOND STAR – TYLER TOFFOLI, F, KINGS

Toffoli shared second in the NHL with four goals and six points to power the Kings (25-18-12, 62 points) to a trio of victories, moving the club within three points of a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

THIRD STAR – PEKKA RINNE, G, PREDATORS

Rinne went 3-0-0 with a 1.30 goals-against average and .954 save percentage to backstop the first-place Predators (38-12-6, 82 points) to three straight wins.

Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock reached an impressive milestone on Thursday night.

Alexander Steen had a goal and two assists to help Hitchcock move into sole possession of fourth place on the NHL wins list in the Blues' 6-3 victory over the Lightning.

"You can't get a lot of wins unless you've got good players," Hitchcock said.

Hitchcock's 693rd regular-season win broke a tie with Dick Irvin. The Blues coach only trails Joel Quenneville (739), Al Arbour (782) and Scotty Bowman (1,244).

An emotional Evgeni Nabokov announced his retirement Wednesday from the NHL, just two days after he was traded by Tampa Bay to the San Jose Sharks, the team that drafted him in 1994. 

"It means a lot that this circle is coming to an end and I'm happy I will retire as a Shark," Nabokov said, holding back tears at a news conference attended by his family, friends and former San Jose teammates.

Nabokov played 10 seasons for the Sharks, a span that ended after the 2009-10 campaign.
